From Preschool to Post Graduate Lifelong learning is a community priority in the Scottsbluff-Gering area. Formal educational opportunities begin with a number of preschool programs and culminate at several local colleges. Over 5,000 students attend Scottsbluff and Gering public schools. Recognizing that each student has different needs and interests, curriculum and activity choices are diverse. Private school education is offered at St. Agnes Elementary, Community Christian, and Valley View schools.
